The Charlottesville protests in 2017 included Neo-Nazis, Klansman, and protesters from other alt-right groups.
The nonprofit Integrity First for America is suing the organizers of the Charlottesville “Unite The Right” rally for conspiring to commit violence. KCRW hears from the nonprofit’s executive director Amy Spitalnick. The ways in which we see these extremist groups trying to co-opt a moment like this and use it to spread not just disinformation, but also hate and actual violence, is a sad trend that has been happening over and over again over the last few years.”“There are a number of neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups that are focused around this idea of identity. The idea of a white identity, and Identity Europa, believes that there should be a white homeland.
But at the end of the day, they are the same white supremacist organization that has been working to sow disinformation, fear, and violence. And of course, we are going to ensure that they remain liable for the violence that they caused in Charlottesville. Sadly, their role spreading disinformation and hate and violence right now during the George Floyd protests only underscores the importance of holding them accountable.
We also know that there are armed extremists who are showing up at these protests and trying to start riots or urge what they call a"boogaloo," which is their code for a second civil war. You might know these guys by their automatic weapons and Hawaiian shirts, which are sort of the hallmarks of their boogaloo identity. And some might claim that they're there to protect the protesters. But I wouldn't let that fool you.

kcrw It was so obvious even from afar. What value would there be in attacking CNN in Atlanta for example? As killer Mike says one of the most integrated cities working in Georgia. But same when fascists marched amongst communists in Whitechapel London 1938. Nothing new under the sun.
